Dear Families,

What a meaningful week it has been! Our students took time to reflect on Veterans Day and learned about the importance of serving our country and being responsible citizens. It’s always inspiring to see their curiosity and respect for those who have given so much.

As we get closer to Thanksgiving, it’s the perfect time to remind ourselves of all that we have to be thankful for—our health, our community, and the opportunity to learn and grow together. I’m so grateful for each of you and the wonderful spirit you bring to our school.

Wishing you all a season filled with warmth, joy, and gratitude!

With appreciation,

Dr. Parlar

You have the right to know about the teaching qualifications of your child’s classroom teacher in a school receiving Title I funds. The federal Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) requires that any school district receiving Title I funds must notify parents of each student attending any school receiving Title I funds that they may request, and the district will provide the parents on request (and in a timely manner), information regarding the professional qualifications of the student’s classroom teachers, including at a minimum, the following:

1. Whether the teacher has met State qualification and licensing criteria for the grade levels and subject areas in which the teacher provides instruction;

2. Whether the teacher is teaching under emergency or other provisional status through which State qualification or licensing criteria have been waived; and

3. Whether the teacher is teaching in the field of discipline of the certification of the teacher;

4. Whether your child is provided services by paraprofessionals and, if so, their qualifications.

In addition, parents of participating children will be provided:

1. Information on the level of achievement of their child(ren) on the required State academic assessments; and

2. Timely notice that the parent's child has been assigned, or has been taught for four or more consecutive weeks by, a teacher who does not meet applicable State certification or licensure requirements at the grade level and subject area in which the teacher has been assigned. Currently all elementary schools in Reynoldsburg City Schools have schoolwide Title I programs.

You may ask for this information by emailing the Reynoldsburg City Schools Director of Compliance at brittany.griffin@reyn.org

Our Positive Behavioral Interventions & Support (PBIS) program is central to fostering a positive and safe environment for our students. We emphasize consistent language between staff and families to support student growth. This November, our focus is on citizenship, with students practicing what it means to be responsible, respectful members of our community. They will develop this trait with the support of their peers, teachers, our School Counselor, and Social Worker. If you have any questions or want to learn more, please reach out to your student's teacher.
